Every specification in this 2004 Toyota RAV4 factory service and repair manual was published by Toyota for the 2004 car specifically, down to the 2.4L four (2AZ-FE) and the trim in your driveway. The clearances and tightening sequences you work to are the ones that belong to what is bolted together in front of you, not a close approximation carried over from a neighboring model year.

Known issues on the 2004 RAV4. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year, and both sit in the air bag system. The first covers the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module, where an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. The second covers the driver-side frontal air bag inflator module on certain 2004-2005 RAV4s manufactured May 13, 2003, to October 25, 2005, and concerns the inflator in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag. NHTSA records 181 owner complaints for the year, and Toyota has issued 74 technical service bulletins.
From a supplemental restraint system warning light to a 2.4L service interval, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the correct figure for this specific 2004 RAV4.
